That's true. All the Hemi cars wore 15in. wheels. Most perfromance models used them.

I'd put the Road Wheels back on it. That's what you are going to see on most factory cars. Go with anything but green. don't recall ever seeing a stock car with the black stripes on the hood like that either. Nice car though. I had a 1:1 69 model, yellow with a white top and a 440 auto black interior.

Competition Resin has a cross ram that could be easily modified to look like the Edelbrock intake they used. Cheaper than a kit.
-
LOL, they got the valve covers on the wrong side. vents go to the front and oil cap on wrong side. Wrong carb too. But a nice-looking engine.

Check Ice Man Collectibles. He has some 3d printed people and characters.

Paint won't stick to chrome. It should polish right off the chrome.

Thanks. I think that's the one I looked at. That's a two blade prop and wrong model. Need a G-21. Not sure if I can make that one work or not. But, I'll keep that one in mind.
-
Thanks for that info. Will do.

Looking for a 1/48 scale Grumman G-21A Goose. Probably a long shot, but I thought I'd ask. The G-21 Goose has a 3 blade prop and ones that I have found are mostly two blade props and they are the wrong model.
-
More than welcome. Drill bit was a good suggestion too,OB. Now why didn't I think of that. lol

Do you have a local Hobby Lobby or Hardware Store? You can take the wheel backs in with you and measure them against the rods that they have in stock if you don't have a caliper to measure them with. Those are cheap to at Walmart. They only go down to the 100's though, not the 1000's. I think less than ten bucks. Harbor Freight has them too. They get more pricey as you get into the ones that measure to the 1000'sth.

Thanks, I thought so. Sorry if I hijacked the thread there.

Wasn't she Robert Mitchums girlfriend in "Thunder Road"?
-
Sorry about that. I was just looking at the one in your pic and was thinking out loud.
-
Hey, if you're trying to replace the one in the pic, it might be fixable. I have seen others on this site sand those down and use a polish on them and bring them back to life again. Might do a search or ask about it in the tips section. Worth a shot. Sorry, I can't help you with the glass other than that idea.
-
Yeah, that Alt. looks great.
-
Hey, I can't say I have not messed up before. lol That's how we learn sometimes.
-
I think I just flipped the spindle on my black car to lower the front end. Can't get away with that on every model though. Thought it might help on the next one you build.
-
Thanks. Just need to get it finished up. Looking forward to your build.
